Working
in conjunction with Hazle McCormack Young (Architects) and The
Norman Bromley Partnership (Mechanical & Electrical
Consultants), this was a challenging project awarded by Queen
Mary's Hospital Trust for the construction of a Workplace Nursery
in 32 weeks.
This structure is based on a segmental steel frame comprising
straight members, blocks, compound taper cuts and a lot of
calculations were used to create the curve seen in the photographs.
High performance glazing was used
throughout the building to provide a pleasing and naturally lit
interior.
The construction of this building concentrated the minds of all
those involved, even on the simplest of tasks (eg. Fitting doors,
windows) due to the curves
throughout the building and intersections with different angled
surfaces.
The Nursery also included a variety of different materials and finishes to provide the appearance required by the Client and the professional team;
- Cedar shingles - roof
- Sto rendered panels
- Velfac windows
- Child safe play surfaces
- Multiple floor finishes in each of the children's areas,
creating contrasting textures and colours. - Child safe play surfaces.
